snarky gingersnap

once again a reminder that they don't care about babies once they're born, they only care about controlling a pregnant person's body

Your top 3:
Bloodwork - 8 draws
MRIs - 4 scans
EKGs - 3 tests

You were in the top 5% for doctor’s visits this year! They still don’t know what’s wrong with you, but they definitely think you’re making it up at this point! Congratulations.

1) riding my bike and a big bird (probably a hawk) latched onto my helmet with its talons and I punched it off

2) in Australia was approached by a dingo and did exactly the opposite of what they said to do (I ran away as fast as I could. I was 13)

don't get me wrong. hormones are also punk ass bitches. but they're neat

I was one of the lucky ones who had their endo suppressed during nursing, that doesn't happen for everyone either. Hormones are so cool though! I find lactation fascinating 😆

Yes! Sorta. The hormones produced for lactation (prolactin) often stop menstruation, but it varies from person to person. If you combo feed or pump, you can get your period back earlier (even some people who exclusively nurse get their periods back earlier... just depends on the body).

I have started weaning Baby Ginger and my endometriosis is already taking over. It has been TWO DAYS of nursing less (not stopped by any means) and it's like the endo cells were just lying in wait to attack me at their earliest chance

Costco is my HELL ON EARTH but it has significantly cheaper stuff than the regular grocery store. I send Mr. Ginger because otherwise I would get arrested for ramming my giant cart into people who have obviously never been in public before.

That’s what they thought it could be but luckily it’s all fine. Just a ton of floaters, which is super fun and not at all annoying

Eyes are fine. He said I just have a “surprising number of floaters for my age” 🙃 classic Ginger, 35 years old in an 80 year old body

a woman sits at a table with her head resting on her hand and the words schitts creek on the bottom left Alt: Alexis Rose from Schitt's Creek with her head propped in her hand rolling her eyes like she's tired.

They immediately called me and said "ma'am this is an ocular emergency, you need to come in right now". Anyways I go in an hour...

I've been having issues with my vision for months now so I made an appointment with my optometrist online and in the "reason for appointment" section I wrote that my vision is blurry, I have a ton of floaters, and I see dark spots in my periphery.

Both look great but my vote is for the burgundy!

Back with another crotchety neighbour story! She asked how we were doing and I said the boys have the flu. She goes: "how could you let them get sick? You're their mother."

Don't be like me - make sure you loudly state your parental connection if a virus tries to get into your household!

the potato has seen things

Buy 1 get 2 free. Just FYI for no reason at all

I went to Michael's to return some items I didn't need and I ended up leaving with 14 picture frames

a mere 2 weeks after the first one. this flu season is no joke and it's not even officially winter yet. I cannot go through this for months

another flu has hit the Ginger household and I am going to kms

😈 I genuinely believe there’s a place for both in a winter wardrobe!

after successfully dodging all the sales people wandering the store, the cashier was like "can I offer you this book for $10? it's a movie now too!" 💀 like did you order too many and are now trying to get rid of them???

I agree, when it gets down to like 0F I need the full coat and the long coats are fantastic. Like walking around in a blanket

I just got a long down puffer vest from them on hella sale too! I get too hot in full coats

Our version of "Barnes and Noble" here was pushing that book so hard this weekend, I went into the store to find some Christmas gifts and all the employees were walking around with copies trying to get people to buy them for $10 😂

They DO see the irony in him holding rosary beads alongside this headline, right? Right???

I saw Wicked: For Good and it was great and I cried

Serious lack of Michelle Yeoh though, and her lines were crap

oh my god this is so upsetting 😭 I hope everyone pulls through!!

stop rubbing your eyeballs on public toilet seats

Just came across an Instagram account that helps women have unmedicated home births because they believe women should be able to choose what to do with their bodies.

And they also have a pro-life post and think abortions should be illegal because it goes against God.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

The forced patriotism, especially for a country that exists because the land was brutally stolen from Indigenous people, is really disgusting. Also, my kid is AuDHD and sometimes it’s just hard to get him to move if he’s in a comfortable and safe spot. Leave him the hell alone.
